HELLDIVERS™ Dive Harder Edition
It’s as simple as the trailers. Virtually the better “Magicka” concept in execution. There was a lot of talk about… I really tried to make it short.
Now, if you’ve never played Magicka…
HELLDIVERS is a top down shooty bangbang game with emphasis on multiplayer cooperation, like Alien Swarm. But unlike Alien Swarm, it has much more depth and variation completely dependent on player preference, kinda like Magicka. What? My comparisons are awful? Fiiine.
In HELLDIVERS, you are a soldier fighting a grand war against three oppositions. In every mission, you and up to three others will be dropped in the middle of enemy territory. You are to complete as many objectives as you can or die trying. Upon completion and/or failure of every objectives, evacuation will be made available. After every three regular missions, you will have completed a planet, receive a greater reward, and also contributing to the overall war effort. zzz…

I don’t know if Arrowhead are geniuses or they got lucky with this one, I haven’t played their other games… but Helldivers is, in my opinion, a masterpiece.
It’s a game about situational awareness, quick thinking, and self control. It can be brutally unforgiving, but also allow you to pull a win out of the messiest of situations, which can be very satisfying. It’s fun when you’ve got a very tight squad flawlessly executing missions, and it’s fun when the shit hits the fan and everything starts going wrong. With full friendly fire, and tremendously powerful tools at their disposal, Helldivers can be their own worst enemies.

Much, much more to come!
A swarm of meteors has for millennia been chased through the galaxy by alien creatures, who have grown addicted to the consumption of energy dense crystals growing on every rock of the swarm. The consumption of energy from the crystals once gave the aliens wisdom and strength but have now corrupted and mutated the species and turned them into zombie-like creatures who will destroy anything in their path to obtain even a grain of the crystals.
The meteors are hurtling through space, and Earth is the next planet in its path. It’s destiny and that of all living things is seemingly decided.
What better to combat an invading alien species with than over-the-top weaponry? From Space has got plenty of it. Every weapon has been designed to be super-satisfying to play with, from the sounds they make to the visuals they show on the screen. Rocket launchers, miniguns, flamethrowers and many more …
Mowing down aliens is fun, but there’s more to it. Throughout the world you can discover perks that will change the behavior of your character and weapons. Turn yourself in the ultimate tank that takes the brunt of any attack while your buddies are set up to do maximum damage. You’ll need to find ways to combat increasingly more powerful aliens, and perks is the way to do this. No worries, no choice is permanent and all perks can be swapped between teammates.
While you’re under constant threat, there’s more you and your team needs to do to be successful. Prototype weaponry that harnesses the power of the energy crystals has been developed by the military using the shells of autonomous thermonuclear drones. The weapons aren’t fully developed however, and need to be charged and guided to their destination by the squad in order to inflict the most damage.
Help us out. Wishlist us now! From Space is a spiritual successor of our 2015 Action / Arcade game “It came from space and ate our brains ”.

ROGUE SHIFT
I’m having fun with this game, the why is a bit harder to describe.
But I think it boils down to having a good mixture of intense moment, fast gameplay (that’s sometimes a bit chaotic but still fair), a highscore board I’m trying to beat and enough variation in term’s of enemies, weapon’s, weapon upgrade’s, perk’s and psionics (special abilities) that the game remains interesting.
And when playing together (upto 4 player together) this get cranked to 11 (maybe even 12-13).
Having said all that, the game is still rough and in development, it could really do well with more content, even more perks, weapon upgrade’s some more weapons and a bit more map variety. But the developer is actively working on this and is listening to feedback and acting on idea’s, so I only imagine it will become even better with time, so I got high hopes for it.

Disclaimer: Im the artist for the game so possibly biased :P
However saying that this is loads of fun and only going to improve to version 1.
With hints of Crimsonland and Risk of rain and with multiple game modes and maps and more upcoming it can only get better. Its already a very fun polished experienced, and with now being in EA i honestly feel the user feedback will push the game even further with ideas that even we haven’t thought of. There is a very solid base of a game with lots of potential.

Wally and the FANTASTIC PREDATORS
This game is honestly a ton of fun, very replayable, and as time goes on Boon keeps delivering new reasons to stop in an play it for another long while.
This is one of the few rogue-likes I’ve played where the focus was definitely on the fun, not necessarily the intense planning and stat focus that I’m used to, though that isn’t to say it’s easy! The charm and humor may fool you, but this is definitely the Dark Souls of Nintendo games. (Am I a journalist now?)
The many game-modes, weapons, and options make this one of the most impressive solo-projects I’ve seen. The game does feel a bit rough in some areas, needing a bit more content and polish, but that’s hardly a negative considering the amount of work a single person has poured into this game, and continues to do so.

Wally and the Fantastic Predators has enough potential to eventually stand shoulder to shoulder with games like Gungeon and maybe even Isaac, but it falls short because of technical issues.
Thematically the game is really cute and manages to be funny and tongue-in-cheek in a very charming way, on top of that the game-play seems pretty well designed in the time I’ve played. The overall message is very positive and the game is surprisingly light-hearted for its difficulty. Speaking of which the difficulty options and accessibility options in this game are really good, allowing for a range of difficulties and playstyles.

Gunnheim
Gunnheim is an excellent top-down twin stick shooter. I love these type of games and I haven’t played a good one until Gunnheim came along, I highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoys games like this.
The gameplay is what you expect from a twin stick shooter, but the things that separate this game from other similar ones are what make it unique. First off is the graphics, just as the dev’s listed, it is not pixelated and that to me is very refreshing. Yes pixels aren’t bad, but can get tiring, with Gunnheim however the graphics are very charming, there is a lot of warmth when you play through the various levels. The other thing is the setting of the game, I don’t know why, but the idea of vikings using guns is hilarious and refreshing. You would never think of a viking wielding a gun, but somehow the dev’s made it work.

Over 9000 Zombies!
Over 9000 Zombies is a top down 2D shooter that is in development, and what was given to us on day one was great in my opinion, it is simple, it’s easy to get into. Alot like Nation Red without the absurdly overwhelming difficulty to start out on. You collect scrap that zombies drop to fortify where you wish to dig in at, you can also build turrents and find new weaponry that zombies may drop. There are also an absurd ammount of zombies on screen at one time, there is veriations of zombies among the horde that don’t feel so rehashed. A massive assortment of weapons that you can pick up that carry from game to game to make you stronger aginst the zombie threat plus new weapons to pick up ontop of that.

Looking to invest your time in a short game that, despite being just that, is also very entertaining? Well, Over 9000 Zombies! brings many things to the table - over 9000 different helpings in fact (just kidding).
–——————————————————-
Through a retro styled theme, Over 9000 Zombies! does what many other zombie survival games can’t. It brings thrills and fun into the realm of an already bloated genre that verge on impossible, annoying, complex, or expensive. For the low low price of $1,49, and for a two-pack no less, you will most certainly be entertained for long periods of time. Take a step back into the late 1990s. Experience gaming through its purest lens. This is honestly a great little title that you can play with any friend.

Renegade Ops
Top down game Like no other.
I would say that renegades ops is one of those games that come once in a very long while and go unoticed, I remember purchasing it with a bundle with other games and never played it, until one day I was really bored and starting checking the games that I havn’t played, and so I clicked on it and was ………. pretty impressed!.
with it’s cartoonish simple catchy story line to the amount of details and physics in the cars and combat, everything is well done and goes along together well.
– Real player with 54.8 hrs in game
Renegade Ops is a classic styled vehicle-based top-down twin-stick shooter, where we have to defeat enemies coming at us in overwhelming numbers through mission by mission, while successfully completing objectives, such as rescuing civilians or collecting certain items. Unlike its predecessors the game does a good job simulating 3D by using slopes and elevation differences. The game is a successor to the Jungle Strike games from 1993 to an extent that at some points we can even switch our vehicle to an attack helicopter. The game is enjoyable, but comes with some very annyoying bugs. It was part of a free SEGA bundle at some point (with both DLCs included, so I’m going to mention those as well).

Gatling Gears
Gatling Gears is a hidden, underappreciated gem that deserves way more attention. It’s a wonderful twin-stick shooter with amazing soundtracks and perfectly balanced gameplay. It’s also one of the few dieselpunk games which makes this game even more interesting. There is not much to tell about the story because it’s not the selling point of this game and it’s not that interesting but the gameplay where it shines best. You can play co-op, solo, upgrade your walker, unlock new skins and try your hand on survival maps.

Combine Metal Slug, Ikari Warriors and Steam Punk into a game. You now have Gatling Gears!
What a great twin stick shooter from Vangaurd Games! It’s a BLAST to play!
My nephew and I had so much fun, we completed the entire game in one day!
GREAT NEWS! The game no longer requires any additional DRM from EA!
It plays just like any other game on Steam! SUPER NICE!
